<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 466293, member: 112&quot;]Guy - what Hobo said is good as a set of general rules. But there are always those coins that don&#039;t fit that mold. Early gold won&#039;t, neither will the coins from the early 1900&#039;s. If you have an interest in Proof gold, what you need are books, lots of books. Two to start with - <i>Early US Gold Varieties - A Study of Die States 1795-1834</i> by John W. Dannreuther and Harry W. Bass Jr. - <i>Encyclopedia of US Gold Coins 1795-1933</i> by Jeff Garret &amp; Ron Guth. They aren&#039;t cheap, but if they save you from screwing up buying just 1 coin - they pay for themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>And never, ever, ever buy Proof gold that is not slabbed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
